Good news for TestMangler. Bad news for the rest of us.

Apparently you can't sack grumpy Scottish b*****ds for being grumpy Scottish b*****ds anymore.

An RAF officer who claimed he was discriminated against for being a Scottish, male Christian has won a victimisation case against the Ministry of Defence after top brass fired him following his complaints.

Wing Commander Allan Steele was sacked from the Royal Air Force after he made repeated accusations against 42 'mainly senior officers' that he was the victim of 'extreme bullying'.

An employment tribunal heard that Wg Cdr Steele - who worked as a lawyer for the RAF - had been given a written warning after he was convicted in court of 'threatening and abusive' behaviour in 2016.

No need to question his Scottishness then.

'[He] referred to two examples of intimidation and said evidence had recently been disclosed [which] showed his religious observance, accent and visible physical characteristics had been subject of comment in a derogatory document received by the Legal Branch in 2015 and stored to date.

So there it is. No more calling a spade a spade. Being a fat scottish b*****d is no longer grounds for dismal. A sad sad day indeed. What has the world come to?

'That consequence was that he annoyed a number of his colleagues and he annoyed, in particular, very senior colleagues in the Legal Branch and elsewhere who dealt with the claims and did not expect to be challenged and to justify their conduct.'

42 to of them to be accurate. To be fair he sounds like a complete nightmare, even for a Scottish person.

They must have been so sure his sacking was bullet proof they didn't even mention him not putting his hand in his pocket on social events.

Can't argue that but soundly beaten on the femininity scale by the choir boys.
